EXPLANATION OF TERMS. 


Scope of census.—Census statistics of manufactures are compiled primarily for 
the puipose of showing the absolute and relative magnitude of the different branches 
of industry covered and their growth or decline. Incidentally, the effort is made 
to present data throwing light upon character ofownership, size of establishments, 
ar.d similar subjects. When use is made of the statistics for these purposes it is 
imperative that duo attention be given to their limitations, particularly in 
connection with any attempt to derive from them figures purporting to show aver¬ 
age wages, oost of production, or profits. 

The census did not cover establishments which were idle during the entire year or 
for which products wore valued at less than $500, or the manufacturing done in 
educational, eleemosynary, and penal institutions. 

Period covered.—The returns relate to the calendar year 1919, or the business 
year which corresponded most nearly lo that calendar year, and cover a year's opera¬ 
tions, except for establishments which began or discontinued business during the 
year. 

The establishment.—As a rule, the term “establishment” represents a single 
plant or factory, but in some cases it represents two or more plants which were oper¬ 
ated under a common ownership or for which one set of books of aoccunt was kept. 
If, however, the plants constituting an establishment as thus defined were not all 
located within the same city, county, or state, separate reports were secured in order 
that the figures for each plant might be included in the statistics for the city,county, 
or state in which it was located. In some instances separate reports were secured 
for different industries carried on in the same establishment. 

Classification by industries.—The establishments were assigned to the several 
classes of industries according to their products of chief value. The products re¬ 
ported for a given industry may thus, ou the one hand, include minor products 
different from those covered by the class designation, and, on the other hand, may 
not represent the total product covered by this designation, because some of this 
class of product may be made in establishments in which it is not the product of 
chief value. 

As a rule, the same designation is used for the industry wherever it appears, 
although allof the products indicated by this designation were not manufactured 
in the state or city for which these statistics are presented. In some i nstances the 
wording is changed so as to more correctly describe the products represented. For 
a number of industries subclasses are shown which indicate more definitely the kind 
of products. 

Selected industries.—The general tables at the end of this bulletin give the prin¬ 
cipal facts separately for the industries of the state. A selection has been made of 
certain leading industries of the state for more detailed consideration. Sometimes an 
industry of great importance has to be omitted because it comprises so few estab¬ 
lishments that a detailed presentation would reveal the operations ofindividual 
concerns. 

Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to changes in industrial condi¬ 
tions i t is not always possible to olassify establishments by industries in such a way 
as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. At the census of 1909 the 
figures for kindred industries were combined. This practice has been followed 
in compiling the statistics for 1919 and 1914 when placed in comparison with those 
for 1909 and prior years. The comparative summary for 1919,1914, and 1909, there¬ 
fore, does not show separately all the industries given for 1919 in the detailed state¬ 
ment for the state. 

Influence of increased prices.—In comparing figures for oost of materials, value 
of produots, and value added by manufacture in 1919 with the corresponding figures 
for earlier censuses, acoount should be taken of the general increase in the prices 
of commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this factor has been 
influential the figures fail to afford an exact measure of the increase in the volume 
of business. 

1 Persons engaged in the Industry.—The following general classes of persons en¬ 
gaged in the manufacturing industries were distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm 
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents and managers, 
(4) clerks (including other subordinate salaried employees), and (5) wage earners. 
In the reports for the censuses of 1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according 
to the three main groups: (1) Proprietors and firm members, (2) salaried officials, 
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. In comparative tables covering the census of 1904 
it is of course necessary to group the figures according to the classification that was 
employed at the earlier censuses. 

The number of persons engaged in each industry, segregated by sex, and, in the 
case of wage earners, also by age (whether under 16 or 16 and over), was reported for 
a single representative day. The 15th of December was selected as representing for 
most industries normal conditions of employment, but where this date was not a 
representative day an earlier date was chosen. 

In the case of employees other than wage earners the number thus reported for the 
representative date has been treated as equivalent to the average for the year, since 
the number of employees of this class does not ordinarily vary muchf rom month to 
month. In the case of wage earners the average has been obtained in the manner 
explained in the next paragraph. 

In addition to the more detailed report by sex and age of the number of wage 
earners on the representative date, a report was obtained of the number employed on 
the 15th of each month, by sex, without distinction of age. From these figures 
the average number of wage earners for the yoar has been calculated by dividing the 
sum of the numbers reported for the several months by 12. The importance of the 
industry as an employer of labor i3 believed to be more accurately measured by 
this average than by the number employed at any one time or on a given day. 

The number of wage earners reported for the representative day, though given in 
certain tables for each separate industry, is not totaled for all industries combined 
for any state, because, in view of the variations of date, such a total is not believed to 
be significant. It would involve more or less duplication of persons working in 
different industries at different times, would not represent the total number em¬ 
ployed in all industries at anyone time, and would give an undue weight to seasonal 
i ndustries as compared with industries in continual operation. This total, however, 
is shown for the different cities, because the limited area and greater regularity of 
employment largely overcame the objection incident to its publication for the sepa¬ 
rate states or the United States. 

( 2 ) 


In order to determine as nearly as possible the age distribution of the average 
number of wage earners for a given state as a whole, the per cent distribution by 
age of the wage earners in each industry for December 15, or the nearest representa¬ 
tive day, has been calculated from the actual numbers reported for that date. The 
percentages thus obtained have been applied to the average number of wage earners 
for the year in that industry to determine tho average numbers 16 years and over, 
and under 16, employed. These calculated averages for the several industries have 
boen added to give the average distribution for each state as a whole and for the 
entire country. 

Salaries and wages.—Under those heads are given tho total payments during the 
year for salaries and wagos, respectively. The Census Bureau has not undertaken 
to calculate the average annual earnings of either salaried employees or wage earners. 
Such averages would possess little real value, because they would be based on the 
earnings of employees of both sexes, of all ages, and of widely varying degrees of skid. 
Furthermore, so far as wage earners are concerned, it would be impossible to calcu¬ 
late accurately even so simple an average as this, since the number of wage earners 
fluctuates from moni h to month in every industry, and in some cases to a very great 
extent. The Census Bureau’s figures for wage earners, as already explained, are 
averages based on the number employed on the 15th of each month, and whilo 
representing the number according to the pay rolls to whom wages were paid on 
that dato, no doubt represent a larger number than would be required to perform 
the work in any industry if all wero continuously employed during the year. 

Prevailing hours of labor.—No attempt was made to ascertain the number of 
wage earners working a given number of hours per week. The inquiry called merely 
for the prevailing practice followed in each establishment. Occasional variations 
in hours in an establishment from ono part of the year to another were disregarded, 
and no attention was paid to the fact that a few wage earners might have hours 
differing from those of the majority. All the wage earners of eaoh establishment 
are therefore countod in the class within which the establishment itself falls. In 
most establishments, however, practically all the wage earners work the samo 
number of hours, so that the figures give a substantially correct representation 
of the hours of labor. 

Capital.—The instructions on the schedule for securing data relating to capital 
were as follows : 

‘ ‘ The answer should show the total amount of capital, both owned and borrowed, 
on the last day of the business year reported. All the items of fixed and live capital 
may he taken at the amounts carried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, 
that fact should be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or buildings is 
owned, the remainder being rented, thatf act should be so stated and only the value 
of the owned property given. Do not include securities and loans representing 
investments in other enterprises. ” 

These instructions were identical with those employed at the censuses of 1914 
and 1909. The data compilod in respect to capital, however, at both censuses, as 
well as at all preceding censuses of manufactures, have been so defective as to be 
of little value except as indicating very general conditions. In fact, it has been 
repeatedly recommended by the census authorities that this inquiry be omitted 
from the schedule. While there are some establishments whose accounting sys¬ 
tems are such that an accurate return for capital could be made, this is not true 
of the great majority, and the figures therefore do not show the actual amount of 
capital invested. 

Materials.—The statistics as to cost of materials relate to the materials used 
during the year, which may be more or less than the materials purchased during 
the year. The term ‘ ‘ materials ” covers fuel, rent of power and heat, mil 1 supplies, 
and containers, as well as materials which form a constituent partof tho product., 

Rent and taxes.—The taxes include certain Federal taxes and state, county, 
and local taxes. Under “Federal taxes” there are included the internal revenue 
tax on manufactures (tobacco, beverages, etc.), excise taxes when included in values 
reported for products, corporation capital stock tax, and corporation income tax, 
but not the income tax for individuals and partners. 

Value of products.—The amounts given under this heading represent the selling 
value or price at the factory of all products manufactured during the year, which 
may differ from the value of the products sold. 

Value added by manufacture.—The value of products is not always a satis¬ 
factory measure of either the absolute or the relative importance of a given-industry, 
because only a part of this value is act ually created by the manufacturing processes 
carried on in the industry itself. Another part, and often by far the larger one, 
represents the value of the materials used. For many purposes, therefore, the 
best measure of the importance of an industry, from a manufacturing standpoint, 
is the value created by the manufacturing operations carried on within the indus¬ 
try. This value is calculated by deducting the cost of the materials used from 
the value of the products. The figure thus obtained is termed in the census reports 
“value added by manufacture.” 

Cost of manufacture and profits.—The census data do not show the entire cost 
of manufacture, and consequently can not be used for the calculation of profits. 
No account has been taken of depreciation or interest, rent of offices and buildings 
other than factory or works, insurance, ordinary repairs, advertising, and other 
sundry expenses. 

Primary horsepower.—This item represents the total primary power generated 
by the manufacturing establishments plus the amount or power, principally elec¬ 
tric, rented from other concerns. It does not cover the power of electric motors 
taking their current from dynamos driven by primary power machines operated 
by the same establishment, because the inclusion of such power would obviously 
result in duplication. The figures for primary horsepower represent the rated 
capacity of the engines, motors, etc., and not the amount of power in actual daily 
use. 

Fuel.—Statistics of the quantity of fuel used are shown only for anthracite and 
bituminous coal, coke, fuel oils, gasoline and other volatile oils, and gas—natural 
and manufactured, and represent the quantity used during the year. As only the 
principal kinds of fuel are shown, comparison as to the total cost of all fuelis im¬ 
practicable. A comparison, however, of the total quantities of the several kinds 
of fuel used in 1919 and 1914 is given.

GENERAL STATISTICS. 


General character of the state.—Idaho has a gross 
area of 83,888 square miles, of which 83,354 represent 
land surface. The inhabitants of the state in 1900 
numbered 161,772; in 1910, 325,594; and in 1920, 
431,866. In total population Idaho ranked forty- 
second among the states in 1920 and in density of pop¬ 
ulation forty-third. The number of inhabitants per 
square mile in 1910 was 3.9, the corresponding figures 
for 1920 being 5.2. 

There w r ere in the state in 1920 only two cities hav¬ 
ing more than 10,000 inhabitants—Boise and Poca¬ 
tello. These cities, with a combined population of 
36,394, formed 8.4 per cent of the total population for 
Idaho in that year and reported 11.4 per cent of the 
value of the state’s manufactured products in 1919. 

Importance and growth of manufactures (Table 1).— 
The increases in wages, cost of materials, and the value 
of products, as presented in this table, were chiefly due 
to the change in industrial conditions brought about 
by the World War, and therefore can not be used to 
measure the growth of manufactures between the in¬ 
dustrial censuses 1914 and 1919. However, a com¬ 
parison of the number of persons engaged and the 
horsepower used in 1919 and 1914 shows a large in¬ 
crease in the manufacturing activities of the state. 
The addition of the Federal income tax since 1914 will 
account for the exceptional increase in “Rent and 
taxes.” 

Statistics for the state, by counties (Table 2). 
Figures are not available for comparison of county 
totals for 1919 with those for prior censuses. 

Principal industries, ranked by value of products 
(Table 3).—The ranking of industries by value of 
products is often misleading as to their real importance 
from a manufacturing standpoint. The ranking of 
many industries would change materially if based upon 
the average number of wage earners or value added by 
manufacture. 

Persons engaged in manufacturing industries (Table 
4).—The age classification of the average number of 
wage earners in this and other tables is an estimate 
obtained by the method described in the “Explanation 
of terms.” The classification by sex for 1919 was re¬ 
ported separately, but for 1914 and 1909 was obtained 
in the same manner as the distribution by age. Fig¬ 
ures for individual industries will be found in Table 27. 

Average number of wage earners for selected in¬ 
dustries (Table 5).—The industries covered by this 
table are those which employed 100 or more wage 
earners in 1919, and for which statistics can be shown, 
without the possibility of disclosing the operations of 
individual establishments. 

60764-21 


Average number of wage earners, by sex and age, 
and value of products for cities of 10,000 inhabitants 
or more (Table 6).—This table shows that 17 per cent 
of the wage earners 16 years of age and over reported 
for Boise in 1919 were females, the corresponding pro¬ 
portion for Pocatello being 5.1 per cent. A compari¬ 
son of the figures with those presented in Table 5 
shows a larger percentage of females was employed in 
the cities than in the state. 

Wage earners, by months (Table 7).—The statistics 
for wage earners in this table are intended to show the 
steadiness of employment, or the reverse, in accord¬ 
ance with the industrial conditions existing during the 
several census years. 

Wage earners, by months, for selected industries and 
for cities (Table 8).—In addition to the number of 
wage earners employed by months, similar data are 
given for males and females for all industries combined 
and for the two cities. Except in the manufacture of 
confectionery and ice cream, there was no important 
industry in the state in which the number of female 
wage earners predominated. 

Prevailing hours of labor (Table 9).—The figures 
presented in this table show a decided shortening of 
the hours of labor since the census of 1914. In that 
year 6.6 per cent of the wage earners were included in 
the group “48 and under,” as against 81.5 per cent in 
1919. On the other hand, in 1914 the “60” and “over 
60” groups constituted 75 per cent of the total wage 
earners, as compared with 8.4 per cent in 1919. 

Size of establishments, by average number of wage 
earners, for selected industries (Table 10).—The pre¬ 
dominance of the number of small establishments, 
when based on the number of wage earners employed, 
is evidenced in this table by the fact that of the total 
number of establishments in the state, 77.7 per cent 
were in the classes having less than six wage earners, 
while such establishments employed but 7.9 per cent 
of the total number of wage earners. On the other 
hand, the number of establishments having more than 
100 wage earners formed only 3.3 per cent of the 
total number of establishments, but reported 69 per 
cent of the average number of wage earners in the state. 

Size of establishments by value of products (Table 
11).—At the censuses of 1909 and 1914 establishments 
with products valued at $100,000 to $1,000,000 con¬ 
stituted one group, but at the census of 1919 this 
group was subdivided into “$100,000 to $500,000” 
and “$500,000 to $1,000,000.” Separate figures for the 
number of establishments and value of products have 
been compiled, however, from the returns for 1914. 
The table, therefore, gives combined figures for these 

( 3 )

two groups for 1909, and for the average number of 
wage earners and value added by manufacture in 1914. 

Size of establishments, by value of products, for 
selected industries (Table 12).—In the preparation of 
this table it was necessary in several instances for .1914 
to combine the establishments of one group with those 
of another group, to avoid the possibility of disclosing 
the operations of individual establishments. 

Size of establishments, by value of products, for 
Boise and Pocatello (Table 13).—This table strikingly 
illustrates the fact that the number of establishments 
of itself is no real index of manufacturing activities. 

Character of ownership (Table 14).—The tendency 
of manufactures toward the corporate form of owner¬ 
ship since the 1909 census is presented in this table. 
In 1919 “corporations” reported 30.8 per cent of the 
total number of establishments in the state, while the 
corresponding proportion for 1914 was 26.8 per cent. 
There was an increase of 4,846, or 67 per cent, in the 
average number of wage earners under corporate 
ownership, and $47,530,183, or 209.4 per cent, in the 
value of products during the census period 1914-1919. 


Manufactures, by population groups, in cities of 
10,000 inhabitants or more (Table 15).—This table 
shows that relatively the manufactures in Boise and 
Pocatello were not of great importance as to value of 
products, the two cities combined reporting but 11.4 
per cent of the total for the state both in 1919 and 
1914. The proportion of wage earners for the two 
cities, however, was greater in 1919, being 15.9 per 
cent, as against 12.7 per cent in 1914. 

Number and horsepower of types of prime movers 
(Table 16).—Although there was an actual increase 
in both the owned and rented power from census to 
census, the percentage of increase in rented power 
was greater, being 83.2 per cent, as compared with 37.8 
per cent for owned power for the five-year period 
1914-1919. 

Fuel consumed (Table 17).—This table shows the 
principal kinds of fuel used by the manufacturing 
plants in the state in 1919 and 1914 and gives sep¬ 
arately for 1919 the amounts consumed by a number 
of important industries which use considerable quan¬ 
tities of fuel.

SPECIAL STATISTICS. 

The relative importance of Idaho as a lumber- 
producing state is increasing. In 1919 it ranked six¬ 
teenth among the states in the production of this com¬ 
modity, in 1914 twentieth, and in 1909 twenty-fifth. 

In 1919, 33.4 per cent of the total lumber cut was 
from western yellow pine, 30.6 per cent from Idaho 
white pine, and 18.7 per cent from larch. Other im¬ 
portant woods cut were white fir, Douglas fir, cedar, 
and spruce. 

Flour-mill and gristmill products (Table 19).— 
Wheat flour is still the leading product, forming 82 per 
cent of the total value of products for the industry in 
1919, as compared with 66.6 per cent in 1914. During 
this five-year period there was an increase in wheat 
flour of 531,563 barrels, or 92.9 per cent, in quantity, 
and $8,815,774, or 389.8 per cent, in value. Bran and 
middlings during this period increased 14,118 tons, 
or 54.7 per cent, in quantity, and $995,438, or 195.4 
per cent, in value. 


For a number of important industries the Census 
Bureau collects, by means of special schedules, certain 
details which do not appear on the general schedule. 
Data for four of these industries in Idaho are presented. 

Lumber and timber products (Table 18).—Thelumber 
industry is of first importance in Idaho, the value of 
lumber and timber products forming 37.4 per cent of the 
total value of all manufactured products for the state 
in 1919. The following table shows the production of 
lumber for 1919, 1914, and 1909, and lath and shingles 
for 1919 and 1909:
